Effect of Cement Consumption Optimization on DurabilityandMechanical properties of concrete

various regulations have always discussed the mixing ratio in concrete mixtures. This study investigates the durability and compressive strength of the concrete samples with water/cement ratios of 0.41 and 0.44 and different cement contents varying from 300 to 400 kg.m-3. Results showed that neither a constant water/cement ratio nor the reduction of cement content has an undesirable effect on compressive strength. Nonetheless, this even can enhance the concrete durability in some instances. Naturally, the decline of water/cement ratio affects the concrete efficiency but concrete slump can be kept at an acceptable level by addition of admixtures
